Hi guys
So I'm a proud owner of the iControlPad (http://www.icontrolpad.com/) and its a totally awesome device already working very good through an App called BluezIME.
Anyway in the ICP forums there is this Thread about an iphone App called Blutrol.
Here's a link with some info about it:
http://www.ringwald.ch/cydia/blutrol/
Now what this app does, is simulating touch input. So if you hit a button on the gamepad, it's like you would hit the touchscreen in a specific place (configurable). Thus making real Gamepad controls compatible with many many games in the market (there are still some limitations).
I think this would be great on Android. There are lots of different gamepads out already, and many companies are advertising the Gamepad compatibility of their devices like the Asus Transformer Prime.
Sadly i have no idea how to port/develop something like that but I'd definately pay for it!
Sixaxis controller.

yeah, sixaxis controler is what you are looking for. you can also download mappings for many popular gamer here on xda ready to play
Thx for your replies. I checked out the app, but as i understand it its strictly for use with the sixaxis controller. I was looking for something a bit more "universal" so i can map buttons from any bluetooth controller including the ICP.
It would be cool to be able to map android keyboard input to the touchscreen. Because then its automatically possible to use several devices that use keyboard input. Not sure if this is possible with the sixaxis app.
And i'm not really prepared to buy a ps3 controller because i dont own a ps3
Lol yeah u should try contacting them. See how they did it etc
Sent from my good old Galaxy S II. Hit thx if u think i helped and may the force be with u.
Still looking
I agree that this would be great! Sorry to dig up an old thread, but anybody seen anything like this yet? I'm hoping to use it with the Impulse Controller I just backed on Kickstarter...
There is an app now for this, its universal and supports keyboard mouse and virtually anything else, its called USB/BT joystick center 7 it is 5 bucks and slightly confusing to use, but it does work.

I read here
androidforums.com/htc-incredible/88993-gamepad-microusb-bluetooth-incredible.html
that the gamepro gamepad works with HTC incredible using their latest drivers.
Can anyone verify??
GamePro - Android Trial is the app and such
He said he used this
MSI BGP100 bluetooth gamepad.
Thanks!
Yes it works, I think he is charging a bit much though, ten dollars for a cheap ass driver?
Really? Ive been looking all over for a bluetooth gamepad solution and several other Incredible owners have told me directly the msi-bgp pad and that app do not work. We simply dont have the right bluetooth stack on our phones.
Well, mymobilegear.com/showthread.php?t=18203&page=2
The guy says he got it to work on incredible using their new beta software. Someone try it out for me? They are giving away beta keys for testing.
It potentially possible to port the playstation software from the Xperia PLay to other phones. It could be functional using the PS3 controller via Bluetooth. Making virtually any android phone a small screen playstation.

I was actually wondering the same thing... I'm wondering how Sony is going to implement their games. Will they just make them .apks that use the hardware buttons, or will it be something more? If so, could that something more be ported and given on screen controls (like the current playstation emulators).
It's an interesting concept and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one wondering this.
I have the same question. Would it be possible??
I am not a dev. Just a heavy Android and Playstation user (with just a little money to buy a new phone again.....)
No need to port as its coming out for android tegra 2 devices. so more then possible. But in reality only "playstation certified" devices will officially support it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Hmm... I don't see Sony making something they know can be used on other devices. If they are using some kind of psp emulator app... I think they will do their best to have it only work on the play... I'm just hoping somebody will be able to bypass that.
Hey guys, I was wondering if the Zeemote works with Atrix 4G.
http://www.zeemote.com/
Can anyone confirm?
No mention of Motorola on their site.... so i don't see why it would. Then again, i don't really see why anyone would want that for their phone.
For emu gaming it would be pretty usefull, specially considering multitouch is restricted to two fingers on the Atrix.
I've seen a N1 working with the zeemote, and there are some generic IME drivers out there. I was just wondering if those drivers would make it work with the Atrix.
don't bother
Hi guys I'm working on setting up a full n64, roms, and wiimote app package for xda, don't bother with ziimote, buy a 15 dollar knockoff wiimote and then get the wiimote controller app fo free. Im putting all these together in a package fr xda users, should be done before tomorrow
I'm curious if anyone knows when we'll get bluetooth mouse support for the Xoom. When I got my xoom it looked like mouse support was imminent, some of the threads in this forum said so. I think most people were saying that mouse support would come in an update at the end of April. Anyways, now I'm reading the forums again and some folks are saying that it may never happen.
I really need to be able to use this thing as a business tool to justify the cost, but without keyboard and mouse support, I'm not going to get there anytime soon. I'm seriously thinking about jumping ship for the Transformer, but I really like my Xoom and don't want to ditch only to discover that they're implementing the mouse support soon.
So, anyone know when/if mouse support is coming?
I'm on stock ROM; waiting to jailbreak after the LTE upgrade (and when I have more time to figure it out!).
Thanks!
Mouse support was mentioned in the announcement for the upcoming update but we have no date as to when it will be pushed, so the answer is "imminent".

So you're saying that it will definitely be implemented, the only question now is "when." Why are these companies so secretive about this stuff? I can keep this thing as a toy for a bit longer, but I really need to know how it performs as a business tool soon!
An educated guess would be within 30 days.
Marketing trick ? link

Hows that a trick? I have a Microsoft BT mouse working with Xoom. 3.1 brought the functionality.
Microsoft Mouse 5000 works great with mine. You have to get a mouse that has a built in pin code. The 5000 does, and some of the logitech mouses do.

That's what I mean by "marketing trick" . There is a dozen of mouses that work with 3.1 but I think Verbatim is the first to officially announce a xoom compatible mouse. Being "compatible" doesn't mean anything since that official announcement doesn't say how much compatible is it (eg. gestures).
Logitech Has It Going ON
I'm not sure what has been preceding before I place this entry. I just wanted folks to know that the Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks works extremely well with my XOOM since the new update was given to us. All I had to do was put the batteries in, turn it on and hit the 'connect' button. The XOOM found it, paired and connected with it and all of the mouse's functions work just great on the XOOM. Now don't get me wrong, I love being able to use this without a mouse and keyboard - when I'm on the go. However, when I'm at my office behind my desk, I have my bluetooth keyboard & mouse and it's a joy at the job. I keep my XOOM stocked with tunes to keep me going through the day - and thanks to the new Google Music beta, my XOOM is working overtime. If nothing else ever gets fixed with these, I'm already happy. Thanks to the devs here at XDA, my SD card works and now I have all the other parts functioning.
Usb mouse works. Tried last night

works beautiful with the magic mouse
I just ran across this post so I thought I'd give the mouse thing a try. Afterall, it's a great idea. So... I have a bluetooth mouse that I bought with the accessory kit for the Motorola Atrix phone (motorola bluetooth keyboard and mouse). I successfully paired and used both the keyboard and the mouse. Works great! Other bluetooth keyboards and mice should work also. This may be old news, but that's my two cents.
I have a MS Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
Mouse: Lasermouse 8000
Keyboard: Entertainment Keyboard 7000
Both work great.
Just saw this and thought some of the rest of you may be interested:

I'm thinking about going in on it, but not entirely decided yet...
I've still been holding out hope that someday a new phone with game controls will be available, but the longer I wait the more I start to consider these game control accessories. The MOGA almost had me convinced, except I don't like that they didn't implement it as a standard HID controller. This solution looks pretty good to me, though it is just trying to get off the ground and still a ways away which doesn't exactly solve the waiting problem...
What do you guys think? Anyone else interested? Still holding out for a new phone with game controls?

Wrong section. This belongs in accessories.

Yeah, I wasn't sure where to put it... it's a silly accessory for the Xperia Play because it would be completely redundant!
I saw there was a previous thread under General about the MOGA controller, so I figured this was the most appropriate place.

Maybe this would be helpful those wishing to leave the play.

PhoneJoy Play + hTC DNA = the AWESOMENESS itself :laugh:
But unfortunately that DNA is only exclusive to Verizon.
They are getting close to their funding goal and still have until Jan 3rd to go! ( $48,131 / $50,000 as of now)
They've also got some stretch goals, but not sure if they will make it that far.
But yeah, I'm thinking this is the best controller accessory solution for anyone wanting to upgrade to a new phone (without integrated gaming controls).
And they're saying they've managed to get enough stretch into it now to fit a Galaxy Note II. That could bump mobile android gaming up to a 5.5" screen!

The project is now funded! But I think you can still pledge for one through their PayPal webstore, if anyone else is interested!

Just wanted to update one last time in case anyone else is interested in this accessory. I did get in on the kickstarter, but I still plan to stick with my Xperia Play for a while. I do hope a new Sony gaming phone comes out soon, or I might even consider an X-Box phone if Microsoft would make one. But now if not, I'll have this to slap onto a more modern phone in the future. And I should also be able to use it on my computer/other devices as a regular controller.
